Introduction
Welcome to Plane! 🎉
This article will serve as a guide on how to navigate your Standard Manager dashboard. There are several manager access levels, so you may have more or fewer tabs available on your account.
Overview
The navigation bar is on the left side of the admin dashboard.
To the top left of the dashboard, you'll find an arrow beside the name of your organization, which shows the profile menu. Once you click that arrow, you'll have access to the following options: Company name with user access tag (Manager), Open new account, Settings, Support, and Sign out.
Below that section, the following menu options are listed: People, Payments, Expenses, Time off, and Time tracking. The availability of menu options may vary.
